Born from Daphne Sheldrick's first-of-its-kind work, our Orphans' Project has become a blueprint for the rescue, rehabilitation and reintegration of elephants, rhinos and other wildlife. A year of impact, in numbers. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/annual-...

Another photo from Bluebell Month, but this time just of the lovely new beech leaves, backlit by the morning sun, looking golden 💛. #Ashridge

NASA JPL next generation Electric thruster. Early days at 120kw output. But this might be the closest thing to #StarTrek impulse drive yet. youtu.be/6XsqSA9tNfY?...

I love the subscribe #Stargate right at the end 😍 Well worth a watch, some surprises in store. @britishmuseum.bsky.social We CT scanned ancient Egyptian animal mummies. youtu.be/N-Hup5S6K0I?...

The end of our month of launching our #debutalbum #hollowchapters! This is a little wrap reel. This funky track’s sung by Tom & called #turnthatgroovearound - you can get it now and help us with an April chart bid, or get it tomorrow on #bandcampfriday and we get a bit more of the fee! ❤️🎶🥳

Artemis II launched one month tomorrow!! 🚀 I was with @NASA for the launch and saw firsthand the incredible work they're doing behind the scenes! I just released a video on my time there if you want to check it out :) I even got to stand inside a rocket engine 😳 youtu.be/VCVlYV135FA?...

My favourite area of the Moon, the Mare Imbrium region, bordered by the Appenine mountains to the east. Zooming in, Hadley Rille can be seen snaking around the foot of the mountains while, to the north, the Alpine Valley looks like a chisel-cut through the mountains.

Some re-posted #bluebell images for this month’s #FSPrintMonday (in case you hadn’t seen enough already 😭🤣).

Kilulu wanted Akina's milk. A direct approach failed. He lingered, then bit her tail. Akina finished her bottle, walked to the mud wallow, and got on with her day. Akina: 1, Kilulu: 0. Discover her story: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/akina

tRump: "I was totally exonerated." And by "exonerated", he means he was found liable for sexually assaulting & defaming E. Jean Carroll by a jury of his peers & ordered to pay her $88.3 Million. #WordsMatter

Here’s a weird fact: Every time someone buys an assault weapon (or any gun) in the US, such as an AR-15, they’re inadvertently funding wildlife conservation. I wrote about an obscure law that makes state wildlife agencies deeply dependent on gun sales. www.vox.com/climate/4871...

Schönes Gespräch @ronzheimer.bsky.social und kluge Einschätzungen von @annettedittert.bsky.social!

My favourite captain.

Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway, STAR TREK: VOYAGER (1995)

On her birthday: 🌠🎂🎊😎

Happy birthday to the great Kate Mulgrew, aka Captain (then Admiral) Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager. She beat the Borg, got the crew home, and was Star Trek's very first female lead... then came back (in animated form) on Star Trek: Prodigy.

The tracks this time are super diverse and I am so excited to share our chat with the Carrot Crew. They have been running though my head for days and I am not upset by it. Come take a listen! 🎶💚🖖🏽🎶

What did space deliver for Europe this month? From the Moon to low Earth orbit and beyond, here’s what we've been up to!

Gangster behaviour from Trump, a gangster. www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...

“I’m very much on my own and will be for the rest of my life, and I have to face up to that grim reality. Christopher is an ardent supporter who is deeply concerned for my safety” Oh jeezus. What a load of whimpering tosh. You’re corrupt, Farage. And your rich bezzie, Harborne, is buying you power.

Manchineel #tree is considered the most dangerous tree on earth, a title it was officially given by Guinness World Records in 2011. Native to regions spanning from southern North America to northern South America, it often bears warning signs due to its extreme toxicity. youtu.be/1q2iPHbkBfU?...

I'm glad that Scottish influencer has been found alive and well but I'm reminded of this epic story. Tourist in Iceland joins a missing person search party....plot twist they were looking for her! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

JUNE is #FuturePastClash, exploring interactions between people and objects from different times in #StarTrek! (This calendar has been updated.) #ScanningTreks

Can you guess this one @abbymsommer.bsky.social Star trek Costume challenge 🤪😄

#StarTrekTOS S3 Let that be your last battlefield. Only watched bits of this as a child. Watched it in full for first time. Astounded at how long and laborious the Enterprise self destruct activation is. An enemy could have easily killed the 3 officers before they could start self destruct. 🤣🤣🤣

There's a new guest post on the WOS blog! Justine Le Vaillant writes about her research into the details of Boreal Owl population declines. #ornithology

Robert Jenrick’s alleged £40,000 donor pled guilty to wire fraud in a Ponzi-style scheme. Police are examining allegations that Jenrick's Conservative leadership campaign was funded by Gary Klopfenstein, who pled guilty to defrauding investors in 2024 bylinetimes.com/2026/04/28/r...

Severely underappreciated: vocalisations of sea birds. Here's one spectacular example: Barolo Shearwater, by Rinse van der Vliet xeno-canto.org/565382/player

30 seconds into my 1st visit to my favorite local trail since it thawed, and I stumble across this beauty! 🦊 also saw warblers galore and the return of our friendly wood ducks, spring is upon us friends! 🪶🌿

I will never forget who supported Trump and i will never forget who immediately bended their knee to fascistic behavior the second that it inconvenienced their life in the slightest. This is not what the United States of America is about.

#StarTrekTNG's "In Theory"↖️↗️↙️ is the last time we see Spot until season 6's "A Fistful of Datas"↘️ 17 month later. As can be seen, Spot has changed cat breed between these two episodes. The gender swap will happen later in season 7, in time for "Genesis". ;-)

Your Monday bird read: Meet the scientists trying to figure out why female Bicknell's Thrushes are declining faster than males, in an effort to turn things around for this rare species. (From Audubon Magazine.) #ornithology

May I cautiously suggest that if large swathes of people are assuming last nights attempt was faked that’s less the fault of ‘conspiracy theorists’ and more a reflection of the fact that nothing relating to the White House right now can be taken at face value?

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S4 to debut on July 23rd! Watch the teaser below - @seanferrick.bsky.social is breaking it down for you now and @editkrisedit.bsky.social is firing up the coffee! #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds youtu.be/7FaPm2QTy5w?...

This is full of awe and wonder and apprehension in the face of the unknown. In other words, this is #StarTrek. (Let’s just hope they learned to discipline their desire for genre experimentation and kept character and story as the prime directive.)

And more impressionistic #bluebells using the intentional camera movement (ICM) method. #creativephotography #canonr5markii

The party political broadcast the BBC and ITV don't want you to see Excellent!

One of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation...or Prodigy.
